CryoArc line of automated freezers maintenance service

The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking to procure maintenance services for the CryoArc line of automated freezers, which are critical for their Biosystems and Biomaterials Division's operations. The maintenance service is essential to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of these freezers, which store vital biological materials for research and standard reference material production. NIST intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Azenta Life Sciences, Inc., as they are the only qualified provider capable of servicing this specialized equipment due to its technical complexity and proprietary requirements. Interested parties may submit responses by June 13, 2025, to Erik Frycklund at erik.frycklund@nist.gov, with the contract's NAICS code being 811210 and a small business size standard of $34 million.
